Farming Question

Featured Replies

How many herbs does 1 herb seed yield?

 

 

 

P.S. I don't farm, which might explain why I am asking this.

average of 5-8

 

 

 

with supercompost and magic secta.

 

 

 

my personal best was 17 snaps 1 seed

from 4-18, but you will get at least 5 if you wear magic secateurs. Using supercompost will also give better yields. Dont expect to get 18 though, its incredibly rare, most I've gotten was 16 kwuarms.

I usually get 8-12 herbs with magic sec and super compost

Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool

I consistently got 5 w/ secateurs and supercompost :wall: but I got 12 once...

I got 19 avantoes from 1 seed once, just throwing that in there :thumbsup:

It also depends on the herb. I get 5-8 most of the time when I grow snapdragons, but dwarf weeds usually give me 7-9 herbs on average.

 

My max is 18 snaps, that was when snaps still were a bit higher than they are now. Over 110k profit :shock:.

Is yield directly related to farming level?

farming level has no effect on the yield

Calculated mean for sample of thousands of patches yielded a mean herb yield of 6.6 herbs / seed.

 

Sweet, thanks.

 

 

 

Also, I put all pineapples into compost bins. It's been about two hours, and it's still decomposing. Is that normal?

I'm pretty sure that if you compost pineapples and plant herbs at the same time, you can gather the supercompost by the time that the herbs are fully grown.

Ok. I finally was able to open the bins again after three hours.

Compost takes quite a long time and its quite a hassle to get because the leprechaun doesn't store enough buckets. You can get 60 buckets of compost every time, but the leprechaun only stores 31 buckets. Why that is I have no idea, but that's what you have to deal with. Essentially you need to bring 15 buckets with you to 2 out of the 4 patches.

Now you can note it though \'

I've recently come about a larger death rate in my herbs. Before, I would never have any of them die. Now, every run, two or three out of four die. Is there a reason for this sudden death of herbs? I am growing ranarrs using supercompost. I have been consistently replanting ranarr seeds in all of my plots. Thanks.

Have you always been planting ranarrs? They seem to have the highest death rate.

I have, but I've only recently had deaths.

This just happens sometimes, I think that the death rate need to "catch up" sometimes...If you're worried this will really affect your income then just use cheaper seeds until it "passes"
